Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 enables the development and management of application integration within and between organizations using the universal standard of XML. BizTalk Server 2000 provides comprehensive process management and is a platform for reliable business document interchange and business processes integration.

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000

Microsoft® BizTalk™ Server 2000 provides the infrastructure and tools that enable document interchange. It provides the platform for application integration using a loosely coupled message-based paradigm. By taking advantage of XML schemas, BizTalk Server 2000 enables organizations to easily and reliably conduct business online. BizTalk Server 2000 facilitates integration by allowing disparate systems to communicate - ERP to ERP, e-commerce to ERP, ERP to legacy system, e-commerce to legacy system, suppliers to supplier, customer to vendor, and so on - because all data is converted into XML.

The foundation of BizTalk Server 2000 is its rules-enabled document delivery, transformation, and tracking infrastructure. Business processes and trading relationships are graphically defined, automating data exchange. The graphical document transformation tools allow business documents exchange between applications with different data formats. This reduces the amount of human interaction with the data as well as the number of associated errors.

Product components include trading-partner management, document mapping and translation, document routing and delivery, data extraction and storage for analysis, enabling traditional processes to become e-business processes.
